Píseň: Store Room

Interpret:
Leonard Cohen
Album:
Songs Of Leonard Cohen
It's not the wind that keeps you up 
It's not the snow, it's not the moon coming like 
a headlight through your window
it's not the thumbnail on the screen 
that scrapes away your dream


It's just this man taking 
what he needs from the store room


It's not the news of burning towns 
that ruins your mind like a spool 
you turn and you turn but it won't unwind 
No, these wars you did not start they don't tear your sleep apart


It's just the man taking 
what he needs from the store room


And now this woman by your side well, 
she's asleep and there's nothing 
you can give her and there's nothing 
you want to keep you don't even try
 to prove that the noise is 
neighbours making love


It's just the man taking 
what he needs from the store room


Well, go to sleep and change the locks 
when you wake up, share your toast maybe,
spill some coffee from your cup oh,
there's nothing left to chose 
and there's so much more to lose


There's this man taking 
what he needs from the store room


It's not the wind that keeps you up 
It's not the snow, it's not the moon coming 
like a headlight through your window 
it's not the thumbnail of the scream 
that scrapes away your dream


It's just the man taking 
what he needs from the store room


It's not the news of burning towns
that ruins your mind like a spool 
you turn and turn that won't unwind 
No, these wars you did not start 
they don't tear your sleep apart


It's just the man taking 
what he needs from the store room


And now the woman by your side well, 
she's awake but there's nothing 
you can give her there's nothing 
you want to take you don't even try 
to prove that the noise is 
neighbours making love


It's just the man taking 
what he needs from the store room


Oh, go to sleep, and change the locks 
when you wake up, share your toast 
maybe spill a little coffee from your cup 
he's got nothing left to chose 
and you got so much more to lose


There's just the man taking 
what he needs from the store room


It's not the wind ....
